Document background
The Termination Of Employment Letter Within Probationary Period is a crucial document used in Hong Kong employment relationships when an employer decides to end employment during the probationary period, or when an employee resigns during this time. This document must comply with the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57), which allows for shorter notice periods during probation (typically 7 days or as specified in the employment contract). The letter serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the termination decision, specifies the last working day, outlines final payment arrangements, and addresses the return of company property. It's essential for risk management and maintaining clear employment records, while ensuring all legal requirements under Hong Kong law are met. The document should be drafted carefully to avoid potential disputes and protect both parties' interests during the termination process.
